Ubuntu Seedbox Help!

[Colypso]

I have followed the guide for setting up a Ubuntu Seedbox. Everything goes smoothly till I try to connect using vcn viewer. If anyone would like to help I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

Hey, post the log so someone can see whats happening:

$ cat ~/.vnc/your.hostname:1.log

What happens when you try to use it?

[Colypso]

$ cat: /home/colypso/.vnc/your.hostname:1.log: No such file or directory

[will17]

hmmm...

Stupid question maybe... but did you change the your.hostname bit?

Try logging in with VNC first then when it fails have a look for the file.

Did you follow Naq's guide?

[Colypso]

Didn't change the hostname.
I did follow Naqs guide and the troubleshooting about the hostname.

Sorry, did you put your hostname in the command?

$ cat: /home/colypso/.vnc/your.hostname:1.log: No such file or directory

[Colypso]

cat: .vnc/myhostname:1: No such file or directory

fixed that part now i get this message

Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'

[will17]

ah well. What happens when you try to use VNC?

[Colypso]

failed to connect to server

Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'

ok. I'd run through that section of the guide again. try installing it again and running through all the setup. Make sure you've started the VNC server
( $ vncserver :1 ). If you've setup firstarter make sure all the ports that you need are open. If you ran through the securing section make sure all your settings were right there.

If all else fails make a post in the guide page, NaQ checks there often and he might have the answer.
